Remember the Simpsons episode where Homer invents a time traveling toaster and he goes into an alternate timeline where Ned Flanders is the leader of a 1984 style totalitarian dystopia, but everyone is forced to be cheerful and nice?
Anyway that's my review of Ted Lasso

The Great Famine in Kazakhstan is one of the worst demographic catastrophes in proportion to a single ethnicity. It was entirely man-made. This was the result of the Soviet policy to settle the traditionally nomadic Kazakhs. Criminal and tragic.
the 1930s famine in kazakhstan was so severe that kazakhs went from being over 60% of the population to under 35%, becoming a minority in their own homeland for decades. 42% of all ethnic kazakhs perished (the death toll possibly exceeding 2 million). it’s barely talked about

Unfortunately Drumcree is now the election. Want to talk about healthcare and housing? Sorry, what's your view on Drumcree. And that is not the fault of nationalists.
Jon Burrows will tell the Ulster Unionists’ annual conference that unionism and Northern Ireland stand at a crossroads, and simply carving up the existing vote isn’t the way forward.

I find it a little funny that there’s a Hungarian subgroup living in Egypt/Sudan and are called Magyarabs

get that kid in front of a mic that’s a world class comedian right there
Ben Affleck says his 17 year-old roasted him for trying to give relationship advice
“My kids are talking at dinner and they'll talk about their friends and the drama and the relationships, and I have some lived experience. I think that's worth sharing, some lessons...”
“I was saying, you know, well, the thing about that relationship there with that person and the 17 year-old just turns to me and goes, ‘Oh, like you're the expert on relationships’”
“I went to a bookstore with them... and there's some book by a French guy and it's called I'm Sorry for Everything, and my kid immediately just turns to me deadpan and goes, ‘Oh, look, Dad, it's your autobiography’”

One of the things Mad Men does so well is portray women like Peggy and Joan as fully realised individuals, with careers, ambitions and complexities of their own, rather than simply as wives or love interests
MAD MEN is the #1 show of the century, probably all-time. Unparalleled depth, performances, themes, emotions; the best drama that is also somehow the best comedy. I know this; you know this; your mom knows this. We don't have to be babies who pretend otherwise.

i don’t know why it’s so hard for people to believe that great tv can reach the heights of a great film or novel (even if it’s extremely rare). i know it’s cliche to cite mad men and twin peaks as examples, but they’re both on par with great works of art in other mediums.

I think two character decisions always impress me about Mad Men: making this guy kind of wise and not a total asshole, along with making Pete a sincere anti-racist. Other shows will just let the archetypes do the typing for them.

He's teaching English over there, which means there's going to be a small population of Laotian kids who speak English, like they are from Lafayette.
transfixed by the tiktok account of this laotian guy with a thick louisiana accent who was recently deported to laos, where he hasn't lived in decades
